Could wind energy be a viable alternative to replace the up to 18000 barrels of oil burned a day say at the Holyrood Thermal Plant for instance..possibly..if so could that already processed oil be sold to market while we reduce our emissions? If you say average cost of $40.00 a barrel during peak times that is $21 million in fuel a month. How long would it take to recoup that cost of transfer to wind..good question to do a little research on to figure it out..sounds like a challenge.
That would be bill 61 which was put in place to give Nalcor a essential monopoly on energy production and to make sure that MF ended up being financially viable as possible. This is certainly something that could be looked into and changed if the island was to look to move away from direct link with the mainland and want to produce its own energy without burning oil.
